Drainage systems ... The major channels are generally open drains, or ditches, but on each farm closed, or covered, drains are used. Open drains are relatively inexpensive to install, and can carry larger amounts of water. However, they are rarely used for on-farm drainage because of the large amount of land that would be removed from cultivation and because of the difficulties of conducting farming operations between closely spaced open drains. 3, record 2, English, - drainage%20ditch
